Japanese Roasted Green Tea - Hojicha -
This smoky and calming tea is prepared in Kyoto from select green tea leaves that are steamed and then gently roasted. As the leaves are left to grow longer than for Sencha Green Tea, they have a lower caffeine content. It is the most popular everyday drink in Japan.

Japanese Roasted Twig Tea - Kukicha [2] -
This mild and soothing tea is from select twigs and stems of the tea bushes harvested late in the season, when the plant's caffeine levels are at their lowest. The twigs are steamed, dried aged to develop their flavour, then roasted and mixed with a small portion of roasted tea leaves.
It contains one tenth of the caffeine of normal tea making, which makes it ideal for children and adult alike.
